Bike for the Bridge

This charity bike ride raises funds for and awareness of D&L Trail obstructions and the work local municipalities, the D&L, and partners are doing to remove them .

Along the way guests will enjoy scenic views of the Lehigh River and Lehigh Canal, the Kittatinny Ridge (aka the Blue Mountain), the Appalachian Trail and Lehigh Gap on a forested flat gravel path. Here is a PDF map of the route..
